the fight

The Guardsmen manage to open fire first before the Fire Dragons (1/2/2 vs 3).
A Storm Bolter hit wounds, a Plasma Gun hit kills, a Meltagun hit kills, 18 Lasgun hits cause just 6 wounds (Snake Eyes, 6 2s and 4 3s, so the saves aren’t affecting the Exarch yet). But these Flashlights and the single Bolt manages to kill 6 Fire Dragons in a row!
The Exarch put up his Flamer and causes 7 hits, killing 7 Guardsmen. The single Fusion Gun misses.
The Eldar stays on a 6 and the Guardsmen pass their test on a 8.

The Exarch dies as well on a Monoeye, the Guardsman’s life is saved but they’re then pinned on a 9.

As a result they’re forced to fire at the same time with the Zoanthropes. (Yes, I know this make Pinning doesn’t make sense, but let’s continue for how it works till the end)
All 3 Warp Blast hits the Guardsmen but the hits become Triple 2s, meaning there’re 6 hits. They all converted to kills nonetheless and removes all Guardsmen.
But before they die the Guardsmen open fire as well, both Storm Bolter shot hits and wounds, all 3 Meltagun hits and wounds (both are done on a 4 and 2 6s), a Plasma Gun hit wounds (another overheats), and a Lasgun hit fails to wound.
The bolt wound is saved, but all other 4 saves are failed so 1 Zoanthrope is dead and another 2 wounded.
The last one pass its Fearlessness wounds and moves up.

The Tyranid Warriors then show up and attacks the Floating Brains.
A Venom Cannon hit wounds, a Devourer hit wounds, and 3 Fleshborer hits (3 1s, a 2, a 3 and 3 6s) wounds. But the powerful Warp Field stops all of these.
In return a Warp Blast hits and become 4 hits, wounding 2 Warriors.
As the mastermind the Zonathropes open fire again (1 vs 4).
Both Warp Blast hits and become 7 hits, causing 6 wounds upon the 6 Warriors and thus killed one with Devourer and another with Spinefist.
Then 2 Venom Cannon cause 1 wound, and 3 Fleshborer hit cause 3 wounds. Still the Warp Field blocks all these fire. And when taking Fearlessness wounds none of the Warriors survive by failing 4 saves.

The Floating Brains continues to move up, and the Stealthsuits ambush them.
The Marker Drone hits them and all people gains a BS enhancement, their Fusion Blaster hits and wounds, 6 Burst Cannon hits (a 1 and 5 2s) cause 5 wounds. A Brain falls dead under the Fusion Blaster, but another’s Warp Field endure the Pulse shots and saves the Fearlessness wound.
In return the Brain fails to spot the Stealthsuits.
Both sides fire at once in the second turn (3 vs 3).
The Zoanthrope fails to spot the Stealthsuits.
The Marker Drone fails to mark the Brain, as such the Fusion Blaster misses, 5 Burst Cannon hits (4 1s and 3 2s) causes 4 wounds, and the Warp Field finally breaks and kills the Brain.

The Stealthsuits move up but are engaged by the Devastators.
A Missile hits and kills, 6 Heavy Bolter hit becoming 6 wounds, and 7 Bolter hits cause 7 more wounds. As such the Marker Done is killed by the Heavy Bolter wound as a Bolter wound is allocated to it, meaning the Stealthsuits themselves need to take 11 wounds. Triple 1s and a 2 are merely enough to kill all of them.
Raging Angels wins (5 points to 2 points)

The Rokkit hits but fails to do any damage on a 1.
The Railgun hits and cause 6 hits, killing 6 Grots as 2 wounds are saved. 3 Smart Missile hits cause 3 wounds on Triple 6s, killing 3 as 1 of them is saved. 36 more to go.

==============================================

the arrangement of next round

**Turbo164** · 13th Oct 07 12:16 AM

Troops lost to Fearlessness: 11+5=16
Troops lost to Plasma: 0+0=0 (lol @ overheat)
Nurgle's Rot bodycount: 1 Tyranid Warrior (there were a couple turns you didn't mention it btw, hope you were rolling!)

Grats @ war walkers, way to show vehicles still stand a chance vs a field full of meltas.

How were the grots getting saves vs a Railgun? o.0

**Rastani Helios** · 13th Oct 07 12:35 AM

Good game!

**Keb** · 13th Oct 07 1:32 AM

Doohicky you RULE! Too bad the grot failed to really accomplish...well...anything. Gorb, you have earned your right to stay on team Meatshield. We are undefeated baby!

I am wondering though, why are we fighting a team who has lost in the next round?

**nareik123** · 13th Oct 07 4:35 AM

For the love thats all bloody holy! This is borderlining ridiculous. The fact that a melta gun, a plasma pistol and a multi melta only blew up 1 walker?

I hate dice, I hate Meltas, I hate Plasmas.

Dropkick · 13th Oct 07 5:44 AM

booo ya, my marines can finally shoot striaght

**Sir Plasma** · 13th Oct 07 6:35 AM

At least I got in on the action this time! 12 points for us so far

Worsle · 13th Oct 07 6:52 AM

I am not going to argue with the over all result and this would not have changed things any way but I have 7 men not 5. It's 5 normal quins then a death jester and a shadow seer. Still its nice to see things going well form my team after a poor start we have turned things around nicely.

**Doohicky** · 13th Oct 07 9:46 AM

My Plaguemarines seem to be blessed by Nurgle at the minute.
Would have been sweet if they had somehow taken out the Hammerhead.

At last the Havocs get involved and show their worth!

Oh, it's a round robin, not a knockout. That is why we are playing a team that lost.

Edit: WOW! We are the only undefeated team so far.
Hope we can keep it up.

**Gorb** · 13th Oct 07 11:35 AM

Y'know, those Havocs are so long my TT plasma gunners, it's kinda freaky. That happens to me an awful lot, as well as sucking on their melta rolls against vehicles.

See, I did something! I did, right?

**jackster** · 13th Oct 07 10:35 PM

Templates are so much better than single shot weapons in challenges like this.
My Noise Marines always like to clean up.

**Keb** · 13th Oct 07 11:18 PM

Yes Gorb, you did something. You really did. Now I guess we have to stop making fun of you and point our attention to...who? What's left if not the cookie munching bloated marines?

**Gorb** · 15th Oct 07 6:50 AM

Hey, the Grots failed miserably this round

And Doohicky's Marines are the bloated ones. They're Death Guard. Mine have an amazing metabolism (as do most Marines, Chaotic or otherwise). So we can munch cookies all day long.

**Doohicky** · 15th Oct 07 7:45 AM

Our next round will be very tough me-thinks. There are a lot of flamers! I think they could do a number on those Grots! But hopefully we can get through it!

**Keb** · 15th Oct 07 10:41 AM

It will be tough for sure, but we can make it through. Now that we know Gorb is capable of shooting

**BrianGeneral** · 20th Oct 07 7:58 AM

Sorry guys.
This week has 2 freaking hard mid-term tests like every university students do and majority of my time has gone to studying, thus almost 0% time for doing this thing. Expect round 4 to be delayed.

**Jianaran** · 20th Oct 07 5:43 PM

Whee! My joke entry won!

**BrianGeneral** · 27th Oct 07 6:26 AM

Glad that I've already passed my busy week and the work will resume. Currently working halfway through, will probably finish in the coming week.

**BrianGeneral** · 28th Oct 07 12:46 AM

Team Banana vs Gunreapers

the fight

The War Walkers manage to fire first before the Guardsmen (1/3/4 vs 1).
19 Shuriken Cannon hits cause 18 wounds, and only 2 are saved by cover so only 3 Guardsmen and the officer is alive.
Both Storm Bolter hits cause no damage, while 2 Meltagun hits and auto-penetrates, and neither are Hull Down. 1 got Immobilized and another got stunned. But the Guardsmen got Pinned on a 9.
Taking this chance the rest 3 fires, causing just 5 hits and 3 wounds, killing 3 more, including the Officer.
The last Guardsman is all alone and thus again pinned on a 7.
Recovering, the Walkers contribute a massive overkill of 17 hits and 15 wounds which kills him 13 times over.

Because one of the Walker is immobilized the War Walkers can only fire at the same time as the coming Tyranid Warriors.
1 Venom Cannon hits and glances, 2 Devourer hits cause no damage, and 4 Fleshborer hits (Quad 5s) cause 2 glancing hits. (Snake Eyes and 2 4s)

The Immobilized Walker is destroyed while another is Immobilized, and a further one is shaken.
However the cover save 4 wounds for the Warriors, leaving the one with Venom Cannon stays alive. Just.
As the Fearlessness wound kills it on a 4.

Again the War Walkers have to fire at the same time as the coming Stealthsuits.
But the War Walkers simply can’t see the stealth warriors.
Meanwhile the Markerlight misses, Fusion Blaster misses, and 6 hits from Burst Cannons cause 2 glancing hits, Immobilizing one and shakes another (so 2 are damaged and 2 are undamaged).
Both sides fire at the same time afterwards (2/5/6 vs 6).
The Walkers again fails to spot the target.
Meanwhile the Markerlight misses again, the Fusion Blaster hits and auto-penetrates (no Hull Down), 5 Burst Cannon hits cause 1 glancing hit. The penetrating hit takes off a Shuriken Cannon from a damaged Walker, as the glancing hit just shakes another.
The Walkers manage to open fire first again (1/2/6 vs 2).
But still the targets are nowhere to be found.
In return the Markerlight hits, the Fusion Blaster misses (barely on a 2), 7 Burst Cannon hits (3 1s and 2 2s, 5 5s and 2 6s) cause 2 penetrations (Double 6s) and neither are downgraded, blowing up a badly damaged Walker and stun another.
Even they seem blind the Walkers still gain the initiative (1/2/6 vs 1).
This time they finally find the Stealthsuits on a 6 and opens fire. Just 2 hits are made (3 1s, 3 2s and 4 3s) and both wounds, killing 2 Stealthsuits (1 and 2).
The Markerlight hits again, the Fusion Blaster hits and auto-penetrates, and 5 Burst Cannon hits (just a 1) cause another penetration, and neither is downgraded, resulting in immobilizing another Walker while one is stunned.
The rest of the Stealthsuits stays on a 4.
The last mobile Walker doesn’t give and continue to fire (2/5/6 vs 5) but it can’t find the Stealthsuits.
In return the Markerlight hits again, the Fusion Blaster misses on a 2, 4 Burst Cannon hits cause 2 glancing hits which comes as Double 5, immobilizing the last healthy Walker while taking one of the another Walker’s Cannon.
Even they can’t move the Walkers still try to find the targets (1/5/6 vs 3).
And yet they fail to do so.
The Stealthsuit attacks, Markerlight misses, Fusion Blaster hits and auto-penetrates, 2 Burst Cannon hits cause 1 penetration, and 1 is downgraded to glancing hits.
The penetrated shot just stuns a Walker, as the glancing hit takes away another Shuriken Cannon.
Still the Eldar doesn’t give up and continue firing (3/4/6 vs 2).
They again find the target, 5 Shuriken Cannon hits cause 4 wounds, one on each Stealthsuit and one on the Marker Drone. The Marker Drone is dead on a 2, but the other wounds are saved.
In return the Fusion Blaster hits and auto-penetrates, 5 Burst Cannon hits (Monoeye) cause 1 penetration and 2 glancing hits, and 1 penetration become glancing hits so each Walker takes 1 glancing hit.
The penetration shot disables another Shuriken Cannon, while the glancing hits are 4 and 2 5s so all weapons on the Walkers are gone.
The last 3 Stealthsuits still stay on a 6.

The Stealthsuits finally advances, but the Kroots are prepared already.
The Kroot Gun all hits (3 4s, a 5 and 2 6s) but just cause 3 wounds (TRIPLE 1s), and 16 Kroot Rifle hits cause 9 wounds.
They just fail 4 saves in total, but unfortunately they’re enough to kill them all.

Blurred edge and I are not neccessary.

**BrianGeneral** · 28th Oct 07 6:57 AM

Not really, Sword's Pred will fall down at any time, it's just his time didn't arrive yet!
Last round has already proved you 2's worth.

**Sword_Monkey** · 28th Oct 07 11:04 AM

Go team!

Um, sorry once again, and I don't want that silly MVP, the tank is powerful yes, so yes it naturally rolls over stuff. MVP should go to something ridiculously lucky or funny.

And due to unsportsmanly like comments from momentary team mate MooFreaky, I hereby enclose my resignation form Team Banana, I shall never work with that insidious heathen again.

**Keb** · 28th Oct 07 3:55 PM

Poor Meat Shield, poor poor us.

**moleytov** · 28th Oct 07 4:05 PM

4+ invunerable saves just aren't holding out. and heavy flamers and S9 weapons aren't working either...
...conclusion - Don't use warlocks to do fire dragons work...
Damn.

Rather bloody round o_0

Edit: The Warriors did quite nicely again!

**jackster** · 28th Oct 07 11:09 PM

Love the conscripts!
would been fun if my guys actually fight them.
I am surprised that with that many melta and AT weapons out there that Chaos Predator can do that well.

**Gorb** · 29th Oct 07 4:23 AM

Y'know, there is a reason I don't like Grey Knights. Damn Incinerators (you have no idea how much I hate flamer template weapons).

On the other hand, this is only the first round we've lost. Go us!

**Doohicky** · 29th Oct 07 6:37 AM

Unfortunately there are a few more flamers coming up. THat is NOT good!

We need to keep going though... Let's get it oonnnnnn!

**Master_Rahl22** · 29th Oct 07 9:04 PM

Am I missing something special about the Ratlings? I thought a sniper rifle's penetration was 3d6, meaning you could possibly roll 18. Maybe that's just the SM sniper rifle or something. Could somebody confirm that?

In other news: Woot the Bolter Bitches strike again! Man I love flamers and lots of rapid fire against guys with crappy armor saves.

**Keb** · 30th Oct 07 12:05 AM

The grots, not unlike "The Dude" are just going to keep on abiding.

**Dark Angel N00b** · 30th Oct 07 12:41 AM

erm, the SM sniper rifle is 2D6, not 3. The max it can roll is 12.

Also, liked the round, lazing about is great ^^

**BrianGeneral** · 30th Oct 07 2:56 AM

The only 3D6 Sniper Rifle is Vindicare's Turbo Penetrator round. Others are written in BBB.

**nareik123** · 1st Nov 07 1:45 PM

Marines Against Plasma vs Rusty Wok

the fight

The Marines are able to fire first before the Predator (4/5/5 vs Double 4).
The Meltagun hits but barely fails to penetrate! (1 and 4)
In return Nurgle’s Rot causes 1 wound, both Autocannon hits and cause 1 wound, 2 Lascannon hits kill 2, and both Havoc Launcher hits, causing 6 hits and 3 wounds. 2 more Marines die while another wound is fixed, and Fearlessness wounds claim 3 more (Triple 2s).
Still the last 3 Marines take another chance to fire (1/2/5 vs 2/3).
But the Meltagun misses on a Monoeye!
Then Nurgle’s Rot cause 1 wound, 2 Autocannon hits cause 1 wound, 2 Havoc Launcher hits cause 6 hits in total and 5 wounds, and both Lascannon hit kills.
Just 1 save is failed (3 4s, a 5 and 2 6s), but since the Sergeant is dead no one can save the Meltagunnner.

The Predator rolls forward, only facing the Plague Havocs.
A Meltagun hits and penetrates, and destroys it on a 4.

The Plague Marines move forward, but the Bikes are ready to strike them down.
2 Meltagun hits but wound on Snake Eyes! 2 Storm Bolter hits cause 1 wound, and 3 Bolter hits cause 2 wounds, but all of them are saved.
Then the Havocs strike, Nurgle’s Rot cause a freaking 3 wounds, 3 Flamers cause 15 hits in total (5 each) and just 4 wounds (just a single 4 however), a Meltagun hit kills 1, and 3 Bolter hits fail to wound.
Then 5 failed saves kill them all (3 1s and 2 2s, and also causes a bit of overkill). Sorry Plasma, but the Dice God hates you today.

The Havocs continue to roll forward, only being engaged by the Falcon.
A Pulse Laser hits and kills, a Shuriken Catapult hits and wounds, and 2 Scatter Laser hits fail to wound (1 and 2). The Shuriken wound is saved.
In return both Meltagun misses.
Both sides fire at the same time in the second turn (4/6 vs 2/3/6).
The Pulse Laser misses on Snake Eyes, both Shuriken Catapult hits fails to wound, and 2 Scatter Laser hits wounds.
Then a Meltagun hits and glances the tank.
Both wounds are saved by the Marines, while the Meltagun destroys the Pulse Laser on a 4 and 5.
The Falcon gets the chance to fire first (1/4 vs 4/6/6).
A Catapult hit fails to wound, and a Scatter Laser hit (Snake Eyes, a 3 and a 6) fails to wound on a 2.
Then a single Meltagun hit glances the Falcon, but just shakes it on 2 and 3.
Taking the chance the Havocs fire on the Falcon again, both Meltagun hits but one glances on Snake Eyes, while another glances on 1 and 2. (WTF?)
After the inability to damage the tank the Falcon fires again (Double 3 vs 3/4/6).
A Catapult hit wounds, and 2 Scatter Laser hits cause 2 wounds. All 3 wounds are saved.
Just a Meltagun hits again, which again fails to do damage on 1 and 2.
Both sides fire at the same time again (2/3 vs 2/3/3).
2 Meltagun hits and glance it twice.
At the same time a Catapult hit wounds, and 3 Scatter Laser hits causes 1 wound (Double 2s and a 6).
The Marines are again unharmed, while the Falcon receives 4 and 5 as well as 2 and 6 so the Scatter Laser is ripped off while it can’t shoot next turn.
Taking this invaluable chance the Havocs fire again, causing a hit by Meltagun and glances it, but the result is still 2 and 5 to keep the Falcon from firing next turn.
As such the Havocs fire again, a hit from Meltagun glances the Falcon but just get 3 and 4 to keep it silent next turn.
Then a single Meltagun hits and glances the tank, still it’s just 3 and 6.

……
I’ll leave it from here.

The fight lasts for 5 more rounds, and the Falcon is shaken in every round so it can’t even return fire. (See the rules)
For the damage dice, first round are 2+6 and 1+2, then they’re 3+6, 2+6, 2+6 and 5+6 (The Falcon can be penetrated afterwards) and lastly it’s 4+6 on penetration table.
Note: Because of Turbo164’s inability to hit and hurt a tank for so many round (which can only be seen in the previous SC2), so even he’s just the only one stands out in this round I refuse to give him the MVP of the round.:-/
Just joking.
Marines Against Plasma wins (5 points to 1 point)

The poor Eldar only saves 3 wounds and are all but destroyed.

The Guardsmen then moves forward, but the Dark Angels are prepared to ambush them.
15 Bolt Pistol hits cut down 14 Guardsmen instantly, though the team aren’t pinned.
The rest returns fire, 2 Storm Bolter hits causes a wound, the Meltaguns all miss on 2s, a Plasma shot hits and another overheats, killing the user. The hitting shot fails to wound however, and both Lasgun shots miss on 2 and 3. Still, a single Scout is dead.
The Scouts then manage to continue pouring fire on the remnants (1/5/6 vs 2).
11 Bolt Pistol hits and 9 wounds mean what? That’s overkill towards the Guardsmen.

The Scouts then move up, only sighting the Tyranid Warriors.
A Venom Cannon hits and kills, 4 hits from Devourer cause 3 wounds, and 5 Fleshborer hits (Triple 2s) cause 5 wounds.
2 more Scouts die from the bio weapons, but the rest stands firm on a 7.
But the team’s accuracy is weakened by a lot for they only causes 7 hits (4 1s and 3 2s), though they manage to cause 4 wounds on 4 Warriors. 4 more failed Fearlessness saves wound another 2 Warriors and kills 2.
Taking the chance the Scouts attempt to open fire again (2/3/6 vs 1).
10 hits from Bolt Pistols cause 5 wounds, a bit more than just to remove the rest 4 Warriors.

The 7 Scouts move up, only engaged by the Stealthsuits.
The Marker Drone hits the target, the Fusion Blaster hits and kills, and 6 Burst Cannon hits (3 1s and 3 2s) cause just 2 wounds! (Snake Eyes and 2 2s) Another Scout dies however, but the team stands firm on a 5.
Still they can’t find their targets to return fire with.
The Scouts take another chance to find their targets (2/4/4 vs 2).
But their attempts failed on a 4.
Meanwhile the Marker Drone misses, Fusion Blaster hits and kills, and 10 Burst Cannon hits (just 2 2s) cause 7 wounds.
The last 4 Scouts fail exactly 4 saves and are destroyed.

The Stealthsuits move up, meeting the Veterans.
The Frag Missile hits and become 2 hits which cause a wound, 2 Meltagun hits and kills 2, a Bolt Pistol hits and wounds, and 15 Lasgun hits (4 1s and a 2) cause 11 wounds, so the last 4 will each take 3 wounds each and the Stealthsuits need to take another.
The Marker Drone falls first, followed by the rest of the team when they JUST fail 3 saves on Triple 1s.
Crouching Kitten, Hidden Mongoose wins (5 points to 2 points)

Team Banana vs Great Escape

the fight

The Armoured Walkers manage to fire first before the Chicken Walkers (2/3/5 vs 3).
The hail of Shurikens cause 13 hits and 5 glancing hits followed by 6 penetrations (a 1, a 3, 4 4s, 2 5s and 4 6s) so each Sentinels take a glancing hit and 2 penetrations.
The Lascannon one got immobilized and stunned, Another Lascannon one got immobilized and weapon destroyed, and the Multi-laser one got blown up directly. (Interestingly, all penetration result dice will contain a 1 for each Sentinel)
Since the last one can’t fire its weapons after their hail of fire, the War Walkers open fire once more (4/5/6 vs 4).
15 hits from Shuriken Cannons cause 2 penetrations and 4 glancing hits, and since the penetrations take out his Lascannon they’re defeated.

The War Walkers advance and are attacked by their fallen brethren of Dark Eldar.
Both Dark Lance hits and cause 1 penetration, blowing up one Walker on a 6. a Blaster hits and glances another, stunning it for this round.
The Walkers then open fire, causing 12 hits and kills 8 of the Dark Eldar.
Facing such losses the Dark Eldar flees on a 10.

The Walkers move up, but facing the Hammerhead which they can’t scratch, they’re forced to move out of the way.

The Hammerhead dashes forward and spots the Kroots.
3 Krootgun hits but fails to do damage on 2 3s and a 5.
In return the Big Pie hits and causes 8 hits, killing 7 of them. 4 Smart Missile hits and wounds kill another 4, but the rest 2 Kroot and 3 Krootox stays on the field on a 5.
The Kroot then manages to fire first before the Hammerhead (5 vs 3).
Only a single shot of Krootgun hits (4 1s and a 2) which fails to do damage.
In return the Railgun hits again and hit all of them, killing all but 1 Krootox. The 3 hits and wounds from Smart Missiles finish the job.

The Hammerhead continues to roll forward, facing the Immortals.
10 Gauss Blaster hits and the rest 4 overheats, downing 2 of themselves. The rest 10 shots fail to damage the Skimmer. (4 5s are the closest)
In return the Railgun misses, as 4 Smart Missile hits cause 2 wounds, though the wounds are saved.
The Immortals barely stays on a 9, and both Immortals come back up.
Both sides then fire at the same time (1/5/6 vs 6).
Just 6 Gauss Blaster hits and the rest are overheating, which fortunately just blow up one Immortal. (4 4s and 3 6s) The hitting shot again fails to damage the tank. (2 4s and 2 5s)
The Railgun misses on a 1, as 3 Smart Missile hits cause 3 wounds, though all wounds are saved.
The fallen Immortal fails to get back up.
Still the Necrons attempt to fire first before the Hammerhead (3/6/6 vs 2).
4 shots overheat as the rest hits, glancing the tank 3 times! (2 5s are closely followed)
None of the Immortal explodes, and 2 4s are enough to remove the Hammerhead as a threat. (Another is a 5, re-rolled as a 3)
Team Banana wins (5 points to 2 points)

Good game everyone.

**jackster** · 3rd Nov 07 1:19 AM

Falcons are always a pain, takes so many rounds!
my guys didnt get to come up...

**Keb** · 3rd Nov 07 1:54 AM

We're back baby! Way to go Gorb and his Havocs for keeping us in there. Doohicky, what happened man?! Although awesome work killing them almost down to the "woman" in a single round of shooting!

**Sir Plasma** · 3rd Nov 07 5:46 AM

Sorry Plasma, but the Dice God hates you today.

Like every day.

**Turbo164** · 3rd Nov 07 7:47 AM

Troops lost to Fearlessness: 21+3=24
Troops lost to Plasma: 5+0=5
Nurgle's Rot bodycount: 1 Tyranid Warrior, 4 Conscripts, 1 Tech Servitor, helped overkill 3 bikes

LOL @ Falcon. The mighty Chaos Predator gets one-shotted, then the flimsy little hover thingy just...doesn't...die! (But neither did any plaguemarines ^_^ )

Wow @ conscripts

T_T @ warriors

Fun! Also prompt, thanks for spending the overtime dicerolling, BG!

**Gorb** · 3rd Nov 07 7:56 AM

Yay! Looks like my guys are finally getting some action

Although I'm going to have to talk to my meltagunners . . .

Next up, the Predator of Nurgleth Doom! Bring it on, Sword

**LordAba** · 3rd Nov 07 9:43 AM

Wait, if we save all but one save, how does 5 tyranid warriors get wounded? That shot must have ricocheted a lot.

Dropkick · 3rd Nov 07 2:01 PM

wooo die fools

**Keb** · 3rd Nov 07 7:12 PM

The Predator is scaring me already. We only have a single Melta to deal real damage unless the Aspiring Champion pulls some incredible luck out of his ass.

**Doohicky** · 5th Nov 07 3:22 AM

I know! The Melta gun HAS to get a hit on first time round against the Pred. It's the only weapon I have that can hurt it.

Glad the sisters are out of the way now. Their auto wound stuff really hurts Plaguemarines. Grrr!

Let's get it oooonnnnn!

On the plus side. The Nurgles rot won't harm me!
